Cartography is not simply a technical exercise in penmanship and coloring, nor are decision confined to scale and projection. Mapping is a politically sensitive undertaking. Look at how maps in different books distinguish between the territories of Israel and its neighbors, the locations of borders in South Asia and the Arabian Peninsula, and the relationship of China and Taiwan. Are there other logical ways to draw boundaries and distinguish among territories in these regions? What might they be?

There are a lot of ways rational ways when it comes to drawing of boundaries which will be able to separate respective territories mentioned in the question.

Considering the ways of boundaries is based upon segregating them on the bases of human characteristics which includes, religion , race and culture. Another way could be that the territories are separated by the geographical region of the land such as, rivers, forests and as well as mountain ranges. In order to imagine this, one can consider Arabian Peninsula could be bounded by region where Muslims are kept at one place while the others are kept at a separate territories.

Another way of drawing boundaries would be to place people with a high intelligence level in one territory, people with average intelligence level in another territory, and people with a low intelligence in another territory.
